How should i set my table for prom dinner?

My friends and i are having our prom dinner at home to save money.

We need some ideas of what we need to buy to set the table and some ideas of cute table settings.





******* we don't want to spend too much we're trying to save money and we have 8 people eating with us in total.How should i set my table for prom dinner?
hm, try using what you have. If your parents or your friends' parents have a nice china set or nice silverware, ask them if you can borrow/use it. Try using a nice plain table cloth and drink out of wine glasses or champagne flutes. Use nice serving dishes and try to find some cloth napkins, parents normally have this stuff for special occasions like holidays and whatnot. I think it would be cute if you set it all up kind of like a restaurant. Here's a link: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2181/1585鈥?/a>

I think it was really fun how they folded the napkins pretty and put them on the plate with a little flower tucked inside. Flowers can get expensive, but my mom always likes to have fresh flowers on the table. Try to see if you can just get a centerpiece(vase with flowers) for the middle of the table and just tuck in a name card/place card instead. Type them in a pretty font and print them, then cut them out and center them on a colored piece of card stock(really cheap at craft stores), gluing them down. It will be easier to accomplish all of this if you ask parents for help. Ask each guest %26amp; their parents ahead of time what they can offer to use for the dinner. Don't stress out! It'll be fun and you'll have a great time! :)

Set the table with some pretty plates and cloth napkins folded into pretty fans or something special.

Make sure that you have the silverware sparkling and properly set with a salad fork, include a bread plate, chilled salad bowls, and some type of stemmed goblet for your drink. A sparkling juice would be a nice touch.



If you could get someone to serve you that would be an awesome touch.



Have fun and enjoy your prom night.
A table setting suggestion is to wrap the setting up to look like a package. Get pretty wide grosgrain ribbon.....then place all plates/bowls on top of dinner plate....a rolled napkin is set on top of last plate or bowl (napkin faces up and down from you, not crosswise). Then take the ribbon and carefully start wrapping from top going around, crossing over underneath dinner plate and returning to top to make a nice bow over the napkin. If you'd like to personalize it for them...attach a place card using a hole punch and thread through the ribbon before tying .



Goblets are placed above the plate to the right a bit and silverware is beside the dinner plate.



A vase or vases of flowers can run down the table...get them low enough so you can see over them easily enough...the rectangle ones are a nice contemporary look...can use flowers all one color (carnations or whatever) cut to the same height and placed in vase (s) where just the blooms pop up over the edge of vase---many are crammed together to fill vase. If you use candles....use tea lights and place them around the table (taper candles are too tall and again, get in the way of conversation).



Now, depending on how crazy you want to get with the ribbon...if your chairs allow it, you can tie same ribbon around the inside slats (if you have them) and let the bow show on the back of each chair.
